One Hundred Three

Isabella

I am uneasy the whole time after Dante leaves the hospital. Papà fell asleep a few minutes ago and now I have nothing to do with myself. I feel so afraid for Dante. I can't calm down after him leaving like that. What has happened?

Why did Dante have to leave that that? What is it that he doesn't want me to know?

A nurse comes in later. I haven't seen this nurse before for the few times I have have been here at least. She tells me that her name is Gia and she is going to do some vital checkups so I should excuse myself and leave the room.

I tell her that I will stay and she shouldn't mind me since all the other nurses have been doing the checkups when I am around. She seems agitated by my response, but says that this is a crucial check up and I shouldn't be around. In any case, I am not supposed to leave the room as per Dante's orders.
